CRATE.

Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented oct. e, 190s.

Application filed August 19, 1907. Serial No. 389,15.

3 is alike view showing the vertical rods bent down over the edge ofthe coverto secure the same; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the cover; and Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view of a portion of the crate showing the basey or cover secured thereto.

y invention relates to an improvement in crates to be used forstoring or transporting any articles for which a crate forms a suitable receptacle or envelop, and it consists in a body formed of wiremesh,.expanded metal, or interwoven rods having projecting portions andv a cover and apertures for thepassage of the projecting portions, these `projecting portions being adapted to be turned down over the edge of the cover and base to secure them to the body of the crate.

In the drawing I have shown the crate or cage'a cylindrical in form, and composed of such Wire-netting as is emph'gyed for fencplates having an lng, having the horizontal -Wires 2 and the these vertical Wires at the top and bottom freely from the body of the crate. tom and cover of this crate are'the same and are preferably composed of sheet metal annular marginal bead 4t, the concave side of which' is adapted to rest upon the outermost intersections of the members of the Wire-netting and provided with apertures 4- near the periphery and the `vertical peripheral anges 5.' These apertures are for the reception of the 3a, which extend through the aperturesas and are adapted to extend shown in Fig. 2, down over the periphery flange 5, as shown bottom having projecting bars in Fig: 3, for the cover'?) to the body of the crate.-

AAlthough I have shown my crate cylindrical in form, I do not desire to `limit myself to any shape, no1' do I desire to limit myself to any size, as it may b for shipping jewelry, or other by mail,` or it may be large enough to serve as a bale c over for any desired size of goods. Inside or outside of the crate a, 'a paper, wooden, or cardboard wrapper may be placed this purpose, the material being va well-known article of commerce, I do not desire to limit myself thereto.

aving thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A crate comprising ing intersecting members certain of said memb from,' bead the concave side ofwhich is` adapted to a body portion hav- Aforming a cage and bead for the passage'of tions.
